Healing Through Trauma | Ep 4

📌 SHARE if you know someone dealing with unexplained headaches, jaw tension, head pressure or a sense of emotional overwhelm that won't subside.

In my latest video I explain something that's rarely discussed in mainstream health conversations:

ENDOCRANIAL SPASMS — tension patterns held within the skull, often linked to complex trauma.

There are three distinct types:

TYPE 1 — PHYSICAL SPASM
Result of physical trauma to the head or spine: including birth trauma, accidents, or surgical procedures. These create structural tension patterns that can persist for decades.

TYPE 2 — EMOTIONAL SPASM
When the nervous system is repeatedly overwhelmed and emotional energy has nowhere to go, it can become encoded as physical tension within the cranial tissues. This is the body literally "holding on."

TYPE 3 — TRANSGENERATIONAL SPASM
Perhaps the most profound, these are tension patterns influenced by inherited epigenetic and family system trauma. You can carry the unresolved stress of your ancestors in your own physiology.

I know that sounds extraordinary. But I've lived it. And osteopathy has helped me begin to unwind it.

Full episode is on YouTube now. I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments.

🌿 EPISODE 4 | Healing Through Trauma SeriesThis week we go deep —...

05/28/2026

For most of my life, I’ve dealt with chronic bloating, digestive dysfunction, and persistent pain through my right SI/hip without ever fully understanding why these patterns were present within my body.

Recently, while working more deeply through trauma and nervous system regulation, these symptoms have been surfacing much more intensely.

In this week’s vlog, I share some of the osteopathic findings that came up during a recent treatment, including restrictions involving the craniosacral mechanism, thoracolumbar junction, sacrum/coccyx, and upper cervical region, and discuss how these patterns may influence digestion, headaches, chronic pain, and nervous system function.

The body often holds onto patterns for years, and sometimes healing involves learning how to listen more closely to what the body may be communicating.

What if chronic bloating, digestive issues, hip pain, and headaches...

Always mentally exhausted? Struggling with brain fog, fatigue, or feeling disconnected from your body?

Trauma and chronic inflammation may be more connected than most people realize.

Many people living with chronic stress or unresolved trauma experience symptoms like:
• brain fog
• fatigue
• tension
• nervous system dysregulation
• burnout

In this week’s video, I talk about:
• different types of trauma
• how trauma can contribute to chronic inflammation
• how inflammation impacts the brain and nervous system
• how these patterns can begin showing up physically in the body

As an osteopathic practitioner (student) and kinesiologist, I’m deeply interested in the connection between emotional stress, the nervous system, and physical symptoms within the body.

Healing is rarely linear, and there is no one size fits all approach. Learning to listen to your body, exploring different approaches, and taking accountability for your healing journey can make a profound difference over time.

I finally decided to start sharing something I’ve carried privately for a long time.

For most of my life, I’ve experienced chronic pain connected to both physical and psychological trauma beginning in early childhood. Over the years, through both personal healing and my education/practice in Manual Osteopathy, I began recognizing how deeply trauma can physically manifest within the body.

I’ve decided to begin a weekly video series sharing both lived experience and professional insight surrounding trauma, chronic pain, nervous system dysregulation, healing, and the mind-body connection.

My hope is that these conversations help others feel less alone while also bringing more awareness to the physical manifestations of trauma.

First video is now live on YouTube.

City strolls, cold air, and twinkling lights ✨🎄
Just wandering with no agenda—letting the Christmas magic find me.
Sometimes the simplest nights are the best ones

Had the privilege of working with a 100 year old client today. 🙌

It’s easy to spend $100 without thinking — dinner, a night out, errands.

But investing that same amount in your body? We often hesitate.

💡 Sometimes the best investment is simply giving your body what it needs to feel better.
